What is Kali Linux?
In a simple word, Kali Linux is a Linux Distribution with lots of hacking tools based Debian. Kali Linux is a new version of Backtrack Linux! Many people said that two are completely different. Actually, Kali Linux is improved version of Backtrack Linux including more tools for work. Kali Linux is now Number 1 Operating System for Hackers.

How Kali Linux came?

Firstly, Backtrack 2, Backtrack 3, Backtrack 4, Backtrack 5 and the last of the Linux Distribution called Kali Linux. The latest Kali Linux is Kali 2017.1 which is released on 25th April, 2017.

In 1991, first Linux Operating System kernel was developed, which was released by the Linus Torvald. The Linux operating system is free from launched. At present, Linux is a familiar operating system of mainframes computers and large servers.

Kali Linux is a Distribution derived from Debian, which was originally designed for Digital Forensic and Penetration Testing. Offensive Security Ltd has made it. It has more than 300 penetration testing software available in the pre-installed condition. Before the Kali Linux, there was a distro named Backtrack, which was made by Mati Aharoni and Devon Kearns. After joining the Debian Expert Raphael Hertzog with them, they closed the Backtrack project and created new Kali Linux project and formed a company called Offensive Security Ltd. Nowadays, mobile phones, tabs, smart televisions and many other peripheral devices (such as card/finger punch machines, robots) use the Linux kernel.

Some features of Kali Linux:

1. There are more than 600 tools on Kali Linux website, but many of do not work without Kali Linux.

2. Kali Linux is free as before. But trying to keep its tools free of cost.

3. Kali Linux is completely replaceable. It has been easy to change its kernel.

4. It supports ARM based hardware such as Raspberry Pi. It's compatible to support wireless devices.

Work of Kali Linux:

Thousands of sites can be disappeared, can down thousands of servers, can destroy income of any online based company in one of the orders of Kali Linux. Let's see what we can do with Kali Linux:

Can Hack any website.
Can hijack information from servers.
Can access any things of Internet.
Penetration testing.
Finding errors on websites.

It's not like other Linux operating systems to use. Only root user has been kept. The network is turned off in the default setting. This operating system is not for everyone. It's the first choice of penetration testers, security experts and Hackers. It may not be a comfortable platform for games or web developers.
